Scientists have bad news for people who think they can deftly drive
a car while gabbing on a cell phone

the brain appears to have a finite amount of space for tasks requiring
attention.

making cell phone hands-free can't solve the problem of the brain's
inability to carry out multiple tasks in tandem.

people need to know that their brains have limits even if they are under
the illusion that multiple tasks is the wave of th future.
